If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

人生中有很多我们要选择的事。如果你想精通某件事情，你必须做出一个选择。我们都可以在我们的领域成为大师，但你必须做出选择。我的意思是每一个我们的决定都会伴随着牺牲。和家人相处、和朋友出去玩，身为一个好朋友，一个好儿子、侄子，依据情况而定。这些决定都会伴随着其他事情的牺牲。
